Yeltzland on Amazon Echo
Next in the series of Halesowen Town nerdy things you didn't know you wanted but you're getting anyway ...
I've written a skill so you can ask your Amazon Echo what's the latest score, who do we play next etc.
I made a demo video on the YouTube which you can watch at https://youtu.be/v_hEhb7TokA to give you an idea what it does
If anyone else has an Amazon Echo (I really like mine, especially for playing music), you know it can be a little temperamental in understanding what you say sometimes, but it should answer questions like:
- Ask Yeltzland when do we play Stourbr*dge
- Ask Yeltzland what was the result against Stourbr*dge
- Ask Yeltzland what's the latest score
- Ask Yeltzland who's the best team
- Ask Yeltzland who's the worst team
As ever, feedback welcome

I made a couple of improvements today - you can see the video here (obviously make sure you have the sound on!)

Excellent stuff!
But why does your new girlfriend sound really bored when asked who the best team are?
Have a close season George for all your efforts

The ultimate honour!
I've being trying to get her to sing a little more in tune, but the experiments have not gone great so far (and I may be spending too much time on this)
